Dell XPS 15 VS Dell XPS 17! Is BIGGER Always BETTER?! 

Seriously, I can't get enough videos about the new XPSs, please, keep them coming! :D

Your reviews on the XPS 15 and 17 are probably the highest quality reviews out there.

I love basically all of your content, and am a huge long-time fan! Keep it up; soon, you'll be setting the trends for all the others. Your videos are the most informative, though well-produced and funny videos I've seen! :)

I’m debating between the 2. Thanks for doing these reviews! Your camera presence and voice are on point!

They should have shifted the keyboard and mouse down a bit on the 17". That would resolve the uncomfortable typing issue.

The thermals concerned me too. I think it is especially worth pointing out that your base XPS 15 with internal graphics was almost throttling. Upgrading to the i7 and putting a dedicated graphics chip into the mix would certainly thermal throttle a lot.

For typing comfort, try tilting it up slightly with lapdesk or stand.

6:55 it's so cute, the way how both computers looking for daddy.

3:26 one of the best advice ever

I was eagerly waiting for this comparison Thanks Everyday Dad👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻

Thanks for all these videos! I love it! Keep coming with more XPS vids your a legend

OEM should settle on 1440p. That's the sweetspot for screen resolution

Just started the video, addressed my question amazing! Lets see how it goes

Love the vids one day u will hit a mill subs!

Phew!! Just ordered the 17 yesterday. Thanks for making me feel good TED.

just found your channel, and it's awesome! looks like you really enjoy the new Dell XPS laptops

I will go with Dell XPS 17.

Great review thank you for giving us this comparative. I'm coming form Mac Book 13 were even when I accidentally hit a door frame when walking thru it was fine. How durable is the XPS line up, especially the display cover thickness on both models (Accidental display damage thru to other side is almost impossible on MacBook Pro)?

Even though I enjoy your content a lot, do you plan to expand reviews for other windows laptops such as Asus/MSI (Gaming laptops), Surface/Lenovo laptops (2-in-1), etc? It would be nice to see comparisons for all those models with something like the XPS and how they perform vs their build quality. Thanks!

How is the battery life on the 17 ? Great video as always !

Thank you for the fantastic review ♥️

GREAT REVIEWS!!! I just joined today--YAY!!!👍👍👍

Brilliant, I'd missed this video, and its insights have made my decision making easier from watching it. Although I like Dells, I've avoided their compact laptops after getting my fingers burned, almost literally, when I bought an XPS m1330 many years ago. I've been using other models and makes but the XPS 17 has been enough to tempt me back.

Thanks for sharing this vid! BTW, I received my new XPS 17, custom order, while watching this vid‼️ 🙃 😎

Hi, Thank you for your review. I want to use laptop for running 2 to 4 virtual machines. I do lot of coding for the software development. Can you suggest which one would be good 15 inch or 17 ich XPS ? Thank you.

Great video! I think the vapour chamber cooling system is definitely a deal-breaker. Do you think the XPS 17 can be used as a Home / Work and Gaming Laptop? Does it fit the all in one utility? Please let me know.

You are my inspiration for technology. hope you post more unboxing videos

Can we expect a video on Sony ZV1 and alternative suggestions soon ?

You are a professional and deserve more followers. ..... Following you from Egypt♥️

A math question: RU-vidr "The Everyday Dad" has now 5 Laptops. How many videos can he make with these? ( Love your Videos )

Your Awesome !! You're videos are neat . Thx

Great video! Do you think the XPS 9500 thermals get up there for just light gaming and a workload that doesn't include video compiling or rendering? Thanks!

Good lineup of videos

This review actually perfectly explains why I bought my razer balde.... 15inch form factor and with vapor chamber for the robust cooling system. Not to mention that the touch pad is built with better quality. Have to say that I am feeling quite confortable with my decision.

But what are the thermals like on a fully specced XPS 17 with a RTX 2060 and 8 core CPU?

Great comparison and review video! I ended up going with the XPS 17. I really wanted the 2060 but I was a bit disappointed that they didn’t have a home version with the 2060 and FHD+ because I agree that the UHD really isn’t necessary and I wanted the longer battery life. They do have a “work” version with it but I couldn’t use my discounts, rewards, and finance deals with it. So the UHD version it was but I was able to get it at $2500 including tax!

I have XPS 17 and the Trackpad is wobbly. The screen is flimsy and l regret spending my money on this.

Best review on youtube. Thanks!

Is that Fuji x-t4 review still coming pleeease?

Hi TED! You say the lower res display uses less battery, but i am under the assumption the 4k one comes with a higher battery. Now i am really torn between which to get, the 4k or not. Can you please make another video showing a 17 with and without 4k. There is no one with this comparison yet. Thumbs up and one more subscriber for you! Thanks!

Would you give up your macbook and use the XPS as your daily driver?

Great video. You said there isn't much difference between the 4K and regular screen. But what if you are editing photos at 100% magnification?

The price isn’t the same, you said the price are kind of similar and you said also to not get the base model XPS 17 so there will be a huge price difference

For me it was the 15 inch no question. You forgot to say one thing in your review, if you want a laptop as a home desktop replacement you DO want 4k... battery won't matter since it's plugged in. And with that being said, the XPS 15 is $1000 cheaper with both being 4k. I don't know about you, but I am not going to pay 1 grand for two more inches , you can buy 5 smart TVs for that money. Just wanted to put some perspective out there. Stay blessed 🙏

Now you need to try a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme 15.6 for a really awesome typing experience

i think ill get the 17 have a asus 17'' now and love the screen real estate, and the xps is 4 pound lighter then by Asus whick means i can move it around easily

Not gonna lie I was waiting for this comparison to come out very eagerly and finally it is here. Amazing comparison, it'll help me alot in making a purchase decision.

4:50 when you say unplugged from the wall what do you mean? Their performance suffers? How about gaming in framerate?

I'm trying to decide between the XPS 15" and 17". One difference between the two is that the 15" allows for active pen support while the 17" does not. I would like the ability to highlight and make brief editing comments on the screen with the pen. Has anyone else thought about this factor in their decision to go with the 15 or 17?

Good stuff.👍

Hi, I want to use laptop to run multiple virtual machines and also do lot of programming. Which one do you think better among Dell 15 XPS vs 17 XPS?

4k is very useful when you need to capture a portion of the screen with OBS (for streamers).

It's hovering at 67-77c at 15% utilization.. how is that good? I'd want to see how it performs with an actual workload over the course of at least 10 mins.

Can you compare last year XPS 15 size with the XPS 17? I know people with XPS 15 lineup of past couple years wanna see just how big this 17 actually is. Hard to see how big the 17 is compared to the new 15 since the new XPS 15 is smaller too

X1 carbon has the best typing experience

Are the speakers louder with bit more bass on the 17 ? And do you think the regular screen is sufficient?

The 17 Is Fantastic! I love Dell and now with RTX graphics Is perfect machine! 💪💗😄

How big of a difference would you say the graphic cards have between the two? for video editing needs

Huge fan!!!! Quick question - are you actually a dad? (Always wondered for literally no reason)

are you going to review the i9 xps 17 when it comes out in july?

So many reviewers stress the importance of an SD Card reader. I'd be perfectly happy to use an external reader, for the few time I'd need one. What I DO want, however, is a proper Ethernet port. Which these models are missing.

I'm between Macbook air, xps 13 and xps 15. What do you guys recommend?

15 is the perfect size for portability and dual-screen use at home w/ a larger monitor. Shame about the poor QA, though. I think if I were to go bigger, I'd rather go MBP 16 w/ the new 5600M gpu.

Damn 🥺 this both is POWERFUL ♥️💗 want a laptop for my online class 😞🥺

The WiFi / Network performance is impacted by the Killer Software Suite. This has been a known issue for Dell systems using the Killer Network cards and the installed Killer Suite for some time. The XPS 9500 and 9700 are no different. When comparing WiFi / Network performance against other systems the Dells are usually 300 to 400% slower! If you uninstall the Killer software and use the Killer remover software found on the Killer Site @t and then download and install only the Drivers your WiFi / Network performance will improve considerably!

you got the 17 inch with the full HD Display, righ? How long do you get with batterie ( average use, only surfing and writing ...)? You don't say it in the video ...

i am very concerned more about fan noise or the vapor champer noise, does it go on when in idle , do they have the issue or ramping up the fan when doing nothing every once in a while , that's a key purchase point for me, i hope you answer ! it seems no youtuber talk about noise when talking about such laptops. and how much the noise in decibels. your review is really good , but i think you should include this point in your future reviews.

So now that dell xps 2020 model had a redesign, I can buy that model without expecting any major refresh in terms of design in 2021?

Hi Gary, I'm rewatching the videos of the XPS lineup. I'm into buying one, the 9700 FHD+ version. Do you still have the 9500, I gues. I need raw power, but the screen color accuracy is also important for me. Some sources tell the FHD+ has 100% AdobeRGB coverage, others talk just about sRGB. Could you give me some information, like printed information on the box or mesured colors? Your videos about iPhone editor or iPad are awesome, they are real powerhouses.

Is there any WWAN card option on Dell XPS 15 or 17? Or any slot available to add WWAN if we want to?

Hi, which store do you recommend their return policy

From the overhead shot, it does not appear that the XPS 17 has a bigger palm rest than the XPS 15; they look exactly the same depth.

I'm going to wait for next year when the XPS 15 gets the vapor chamber.

Will you do the lenovo x1 extreme gen 3 that’s coming in july against the xps 15

Can you do a clip how to update the latest bios on XP’s 15 9500?

Thanks for the video. Very informative. Would the 17 inch have noisy fans , as I Zoom live meetings 10 to 14 hours daily, 6 days a week. Thanking you in advance, OldSchoolDad.

Tell us one thing which one is better for heavy load task xps 17 or Macbook Pro 16?

Is the SSD cover actually necessary for the installation of a second drive?

Have you heard about the new dell inspiron 15 (available in belgium, not yet in the US)? A comparison with the XPS would be nice😁 The same spec models ( i7-10750H, 16Gb ram, 1To ssd, no touch screen, GTX 1650 Ti, ...) are 1500€ for the inspiron and 2200€ for the XPS 15

it would have been nice to see the 13 inch in this review as well because i am trying to decide between the 3. the 15 inch is the size i want and is expandable but the 13 is significantly cheaper so i have a dilemma

Can u please make a battery drain test of both, with heat testing... Please please please... Many of us are hardly waiting....

Only reason I watch your videos because "if I can figure it out you can figure it out" 😊😊😊😊

This mans spitting factssss

this is like my millionth time watching these videos.

Could you please do a side-by-side comparison of XPS 15 9520 and XPS 17 9720

do you void the warranty if you buy the 8ram version and decided to upgrade it?

Hi Is Dell XPS 15 9500 i5-10300H,16 RAM, 512 SSD enough for working with 3 MT5 apps (simultaneously with multiple Chrome tabs open) with 10-20 heavy charts open with loads of indicator and backtesting (need it for my personal indicator and strategy)?

Well this now helped me eliminate Dell XPS 15 against HP Envy 4k RTX 2060 model with vapor chamber cooling. I still miss the usb c charging capability, so now torn between HP envy 15 4k vs dell xps 17 FHD

Sigh. Bought an XPS 15 last week and still had the touchpad problem. Waiting on the return shipping label.

the 4k panel is more color accurate. That's it's main selling point (at least for content creators) not the actual resolution

For me, the 9700 and 9500 are hard to open. I mean hold it down and find a spot to pry open the lid hard to open! We had the 9500 for my son and he could not open it.

I ordered my 9500 in 8/2020. The trackpad clicks work intermittently. It's very frustrating to use the laptop with the touchpad. I called Dell and they sent a repair technician to my house. The new palm rest/keyboard/trackpad also has the wireless antenna. The cable for the antenna was defective. The technician tried for over an hour to get the cable to work, losing his temper and throwing his tools in my livingroom. The technician also said that Dell doesn't know how to design a laptop. He also got mad when he had an extra part he didn't remember where it went back to. He couldn't get the antenna cable back on but did something with a screw to hold it next to it and told me he didn't have all night to sit here and try to fix it. After the machine was "finished" it still had the same click problem. I called Dell and the first two customer service reps hung up on me. I have been trying to speak to a manager for almost a week now to get a replacement unit sent. I'm telling you, I will never buy another Dell product as long as I live. I should have bought a MBP.

But just the 4k display cover 100% Adobe RGB? Can't find the answer anywhere!

XPS 15 vs XPS 17 (full HD panel/i7 10750H 6 core/GTX 1650 Ti both), which one is the best for you ? I was wondering which one of these two models is the best, since I'm buying from Italy and there's a €360 difference between them. I've heard that the XPS 17 had a better cooling system, even though the XPS 15 already has no throttling issues; I wanted to buy the full HD panel model for a better battery life. The question is: is the €360 gap between prices worth it? Or should I just buy the XPS 15? Thanks in advance.

It's just so disappointing that Dell haven't given us alternative GPU options, such as Razer do (offering the 2080 Super Max-Q), also the options for non-US websites are terrible, there are only 3 configuration options in Sweden and UK, both highly limited and very sneakily spec'd which will confuse some into buying the most expensive thinking that they're getting the most capable, when actually they'll end up with the lower spec i7 and only 16Gb ram...

The i7 that is has is a rebranded i9 it has the same architecture, core count and almost identical clock speeds (0.2ghz difference) and an i9 is coming very soon

I love the 17" but I can't get it cuz they are not available in India and import has been closed because of lockdown.

I can't wait for my 17 to arrive!

Damn. I just ordered the XPS 15 and I didnt realize I couldve got the upgraded CPU for the same price I upgraded the SSD for. I dont need 512gb, I should've gotten the 256.

hey everyday dad! good stuff! could you please send us the link of the page where you were able to choose between the fullhd and the uhd screen of the 17" model? I've been searching it for days now and can't find it :/ maybe it's different outside of the US 🤔 have nice day 😃 edit: ok nevermind, I went on the US website and found it. in germany they don't have that offer. seems like I'll have to ship it overseas haha
